Github: Social Coding (Now for Android) [#FollowFriday]

The #FollowFriday Series highlights today’s up-and-coming, active and all-around noteworthy Twitter accounts the AudioAcrobat staff deems worthy of following; while at the same time peering deeper into the soul(-cial media) of each account and providing a brief-yet-informative analysis.

Welcome back for the twenty-eighth #FollowFriday tweet / WordPress mashup of 2012 here on the AudioAcrobat Weblog!

Whether you’re just getting into coding or manage a portfolio of Fortune 500 projects, the need to host your code in the cloud, collaborate with team members and/or an ever-expanding community of 1.85+ million developers is seemingly impossible to ignore.

In today’s post, we will dive deeper into the tweets of San Francisco-based code sharing simplification company, GitHub (@github) and the Twitter accounts they have chosen to follow … a mirror, if you will, into the soul(-cial media) behind a company who has recently unveiled a free mobile app…available exclusively on Android (sorry iOS).

Yep. That’s right, we just said it … “soulcial media”. We also said, “a company who has recently unveiled a free mobile app…available exclusively on Android” in the same sentence.

25@bleikamp: Huge fan of the information superhighway…so I work at @github

Conclusion

In summary, it looks as though @github likes to follow Twitter users and accounts who are closely affiliated with GitHub. What @github may “lack” in eclecticism is made up for tenfold through organization and efficiency. How’s that for a twitter “following” summary, eh?

It’s a pretty impressive list, right? It is somewhat “specific” though … Perhaps you’d like to recommend a Twitter account to profile during an upcoming #FollowFriday? If so, please comment below or tweet us up!
